End of harvest and everyone celebrates in style in these tiny villages
I was surprised Tiszaigar had a Festival of its own. It was held in the old Church grounds and turned out great..
It was a cloudy, rainy looking day to begin with, but by 2pm it was sunny and hot.
All good with the house repairs...today I'm just posting Festival Fotos!

| No festival is complete without face painting! |
 |
| The local school kids did a great job with different classes doing their different little skits...This was the 6 yr old boys doing..."What shall we do with the drunken sailor"?...and in English too! The kid in the box (Ship)is 2 yrs old...classic! |
 |
| Too funny! |
 |
| Then the older kids did their folk dancing... |
 |
| While the music played, everyone went to watch the kids do their skits on stage. |
 |
| Filling up for lunch time. It goes until 10 pm I believe. Will walk the 3oo mtrs up at dark and watch the fireworks. |
 |
| Some local costumes... |
 |
| A Swiss national Costume...and the lady speaks English! |
 |
| Now, this is a stew pot! |
 |
| OMGoodness! |
 |
| Now, that's a spoon!...More like a shovel! |
 |
| 500 ft for a dish of goulash... |
 |
| Talent at work... |
 |
| Kindy kids...all decked out and nervous, waiting their turn. |
 |
| The girls rounding up a boy...some traditional song and dance... |
 |
| The front of the old Church...The festival is being held to the right of the pic... |
 |
| Looking pretty horrible weather by 2pm... |
 |
| The kids doing another skit...and suddenly,...the weather cleared and became sunny and hot. |
 |
| Grade 1 doing the ribbon dance... |
 |
| That's over...thankfully, they are thinking! |
 |
| Watch the steps, kids... |
 |
| Then the guys came on...in traditional costume... |
 |
| Nice, hey? |
 |
| Some of my close neighbours... |
 |
| Nice show girls... |
 |
| Beer o'clock! |
 |
| It took a few trys to get them all in one pic! |
 |
| Hot beer on a hot day! |
 |
| These guys will be on later in the arvo...looks good. Went for a walk around outside to see these guys getting ready.. |
 |
| Unicycles being prepared... |
 |
| ...and some fancy looking quads.... |
 |
| A hot rod here... |
 |
| This thing will probably fly! |
 |
| Back inside the festival area, which is divided into 2 areas. One for food and music and one for games. |
 |
| She was crying because the kids all left the stage! Check out the recycled jeans...Cut off at the bottom area and a couple of frills added! |
 |
| This is in the games area, being set up... |
 |
| Bright colours and fun balloon shapes... |
 |
| This is the games area. Amazing. I'll do an entire blog on the games. Absolutely amazing ingenuity of these Hungarians. |
OK...that's it for some of the fun at the festival.
I'll post this now and post the other pics later on through the week.
Cheers and take care everyone,
Lotsa love,
Mary
